It’s About to Get Brutally Hot in New York City​

 

Temperatures in Central Park this week could reach 100 degrees for the first time since 2012.

It’s going to be hot and sticky in New York City this week as temperatures are expected to soar into the 90s or even higher in the first heat wave of the year.

Many locations in the metro area will likely climb into the high 90s and potentially break 100 degrees. High temperatures would normally range from 80 to 85 this time of the year.

The National Weather Service issued an extreme heat warning, the highest level of heat alert, for the city, from noon on Sunday through 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

The stifling weather is predicted to create life-threatening conditions, particularly for older people and anyone without access to air-conditioning.

“Heat like this can kill,” New York City Emergency Management said on social media. “It is the deadliest weather hazard we face.”
